Week 6, lessons 1-5 Assessment Week Verbal Voyaging activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In Week 6, lessons 1-5, students embark on an engaging phonics journey with the "Verbal Voyaging" activity, designed to enhance their reading and writing skills at Phase 5, Unit 1. This particular worksheet sets the scene for an underwater adventure, inviting children to immerse themselves in the aquatic world. The task at hand is to trace a sentence that vividly describes the marine environment, focusing on the actions of a playful dolphin. Once the sentence is traced, students are encouraged to write it out independently below the traced version, as if they are reporting their observation back to the captain of their imaginary submarine.

The sentence provided for tracing is simple yet effective: "The dolphin likes to swim." This activity not only aids in reinforcing the students' understanding of sentence structure but also helps them practice their handwriting and spelling of the words within the context of the sentence. By repeating the sentence through tracing and writing, the students consolidate their grasp of the phonics learned in Phase 5, Unit 1. The worksheet is a part of the comprehensive "All Aboard Phonics" program, which aims to build a strong foundation in literacy for young learners.
